A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For sixteen-year-old Eliza Brown, life seems hopelessly dreary. It's 1903, and the turn of the century is bringing new ideas and dramatic changes. But at Stepping Stones lighthouse, the chores are endless and the company gloomy. Eliza feels isolated on the rocky island with her sullen brother Sam, her taciturn father, and her critical mother. Her happiest moments come when she travels to school on City Island by rowboat. If only she could find a way to escape her claustrophobic home. When a family tragedy strikes, Eliza's life changes utterly in a few tumultuous days. She suddenly has more freedom that she ever imagined possible--even opportunities for romance. But her new life also brings formidable challenges and painful decisions. Where does a spirited and rebellious young woman like Eliza really belong? In the tradition of L. M. Montgomery's 'Anne of Green Gables' books, Katherine Kirkpatrick has written a heartfelt and stirring novel with a thoroughly enchanting heroine. "Katherine Kirkpatrick's KEEPING THE GOOD LIGHT is a novel full of delight. It has a strong feeling for period and place and character, the three most essential ingredients for good reading." --Madeleine L'Engle KEEPING THE GOOD LIGHT is a strong story, beautifully researched, with a heroine who would be a good role model in any era." --Natalie Babbitt "The plot is engaging and enriched with substantial historical detail, bringing time and place vividly to light. This is an outstanding book with a truly contemporary heroine in a historical setting. Readers of L. M. Montgomery's 'Anne of Green Gables' series will find Eliza a kindred spirit." --School Library Journal
